Penn State Law students will have the opportunity to practice criminal law in a new clinic set to begin operation in the fall. The Indigent Criminal Justice Clinic (ICJC) will give third-year students the experience of working with criminal defendants accused of misdemeanor offenses in the Centre County Court of Common Pleas. The students will work under the supervision of Casey McClain and Richard Settgast, both attorneys at the Centre County Public Defender Office.
"Students will take their academic knowledge and transform it into practical experience representing their own clients from the community, making contacts with other lawyers and serving as ambassadors of Penn State Law," McClain said. "In addition to getting a great experience it's also a chance for the law school to give back to the community by serving a much needed role in the defense of indigent members of Centre County."

All students taking Judith Creuz's introduction to audiology course (CSD 230) wear an ear plug for one day to experience what it would be like to have hearing loss. Creuz, who wears a hearing aid because of her own hearing loss, said she wants students to know what it's like to live in her world. Students in Creuz's class also have the opportunity to brush up on diagnostic skills in Penn State's audiology clinic. All in all, the semester gives students a chance to get a first-hand look at audiology through the eyes of both patient and practitioner.
